DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S)

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a universal side basket for foldable chairscomprises a U-shaped rod 1 and a flexible cloth basket 2. The U-shapedrod 1 is bent by a rod member. One end of the U-shaped rod is apositioning end 11 and the other end thereof is a suspended end 12. Thelength that the positioning end is longer than the suspended end is notless than 3 cm so as to be hingedly positioned on a foldable chair rodmember by means of the positioning end 11. Further, the positioning end11 of the U-shaped rod is also hinged with the positioning lug 13 andhinged on the foldable chair rod member by means of the positioning lug13.

When the universal side basket for foldable chairs is hinged, dependingon the foldable chair support structure, it can be selected that thepositioning end 11 and the foldable chair rod member can be directlyhinged, or that the positioning lug 13 can excessively adjust the foldedangle of the side basket. In the present figure, the side basket ishinged on the seat cushion rod member 4 of the foldable chair, and theseat cushion rod member 4 has an inclined structure. Due to limitedoperating space, the U-shaped rod 1 of this example is relatively small.

The flexible cloth basket 2 is processed from a flexible fabric,preferably an oxford cloth or a mesh cloth. On the flexible cloth basket2, a cloth sleeve 21 is sewn on the three sides of upper edge of theflexible cloth basket 2, which is directly sleeved into from thesuspended end 12 of the U-shaped rod by means of the cloth sleeve 21 toform a suspension structure. For the U-shaped rod 1, the upper edge ofthe flexible cloth basket 2 can be suspended on the U-shaped rod 1 withonly three sides thereof.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the U-shaped rod 1 is relatively large inthe present figure, has the same structure as that of FIG. 1, canaccommodate more articles, and is more practical. The U-shaped rod 1 isprovided with a cup holder piece 3 on both sides of a corner,respectively. The two cup holder pieces 3 and the corner constitute acomplete cup holder, which provides the convenience of resting the cup,and restrains the cup or a water bottle from being in a standing statewithout fear of pouring out. More specifically, the cup holder 3 isprovided at the corner of the U-shaped rod 1 near the positioning end 11so that the weight of the cup or the bottle is directly transferred tothe positioning end; a rivet for fixing the cup holder piece 3sequentially passes through the cup holder piece 3, the flexible clothbasket 2 and the U-shaped rod 1 and also functions to secure theflexible cloth basket 2.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, a large side basket can be assorted on thefoldable directors chair to be used. The director's chair has a largerand more flexible activity space for picking up and placing on the widerside basket. In the present example, when the universal side basket forfoldable chairs is hinged, the positioning end 11 of the U-shaped rodcan be directly hinged with a vertical support rod 5 of the director'schair. The end portion thereof extends to the bottom of a seat cushionrod 51 and can be pressed and lifted up by the seat cushion rod 51 whenopened.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the positioning end 11 replaces aconnecting rod of the foldable directors chair. That is, the end of thepositioning end 11 is hinged to the seat cushion rod 51, and the middleportion is hinged on the supporting rod member 5 to form a linkagestructure with the director's chair. In addition to the above two hingedrelationships, it is still possible to select a hinged solution via apositioning lug 13, in which case the side basket is an independentfoldable structure.

Referring to FIG. 7, the universal side basket for foldable chairscomprises a b-shaped ring 10 and a flexible cloth basket 2. The b-shapedring 10 is bent by a rod member, and one end of the b-shaped ring 10protrudes outside of the ring to form the positioning end 11. The lengththat the positioning end 11 is longer is not less than 3 cm. Theb-shaped ring 10 is hingedly positioned on the foldable chair member bymeans of the positioning end 11 as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 indetails. The flexible cloth basket 2 is processed from a flexible fabricsuch as the oxford cloth or the mesh cloth. The upper edge thereof issuspended on the b-shaped ring, that is, the cloth sleeve 21 isprocessed and sleeved on a loop forming section. In the presentlypreferred solution, a ring formed by the b-shaped ring 10 may be an openring or a closed ring. The closed ring refers to a contact portion of asuspended end portion and the positioning end, which is riveted orwelded and fixed together. The rigidity thereof is relatively good, butthe material and weight thereof are also added.

On both sides of the corner of the b-ring 10 near the positioning end,the cup holder pieces 3 are respectively provided, and the two cupholder pieces 3 and the corners constitute a complete cup holder.

The invention aims to provide a side basket structure which is matchedwith a foldable chair, and particularly adopts a single-end positioningsolution, so that the universality thereof is stronger. The positioningend 11 or the positioning lug 13 can be hinged with any rod on thefoldable chair to form a side basket structure that can be independentlyadjusted or linked. The positioning end 11 can be replaced by a specificlever member of the foldable chair to form an organic whole body, andthe specific use thereof does not affect the composition of a sidebasket main body, which all covered by the protection of the presentinvention.
